GIVEAWAY // Win a Gorgeous Handmade Flow Jug from Viesso (Worth $85!)

I normally post giveaways on Fridays, but I just couldn't wait for this one! I'm thrilled to be partnering up with one of my new favorite companies, Viesso, to give you guys a chance to win one of their absolutely gorgeous Flow Jugs(an $85 value!). For those not familiar with Viesso, it is a small, eco-friendly business that offers an exclusive line of custom furniture all made locally in Los Angeles. The company was created by three young guys who were shopping for furniture when they realized everything was outdated and inefficient, and what they wanted didn't exist. So they created it. Pretty rad huh?

Here's what they had to say about their design mission and aesthetic: "We believe modern furniture isn't just about the modern style. It's also about products that appeal to and enhance our modern lives. Smart design, custom options, green furniture materials, innovative functions. It all adds up to giving you exciting solutions for your space. We've scoured the marketplace to bring you home furnishings that meet these modern ideals." Love that!

As for the stunning Flow Jug that's up for grabs, it is handmade fine bone china with a gorgeously clean Scandinavian design. The designer says about the jug: "With the shape I wanted to tell a straightforward story about its functional anatomy: A large hole to fill the jug, a small hole to pour, a low centre of gravity, and a middle area to get a firm grip. At the same time I wanted to create a flowing balance between these four elements in a way that makes them come together in an organic unity, like a heart and its veins or a tree and its branches. The end result almost makes the jug come alive." I have to admit I'm incredibly jealous of whoever wins this piece. It's timelessly beautiful!

This giveaway will run through December 23th and is open to all readers with a US shipping address. The winner will be randomly chosen and announced later that week. (Please make sure to check back and also that there is a way to contact you in your entry. This is important!) A huge thank you to Viesso for giving Bubby and Bean's readers a chance to win one of their gorgeous products!
